Abstract

Rice husk is the most abundant agricultural waste in Indonesia. It can be used as a precursor for multifunctional materials such as silica-lignin composite for adsorbents. Silica-lignin can reduce heavy metal content in an industrial waste, such as the content of Cr(VI). This study aims to isolate and characterize silica-lignin composite, and determines the isotherm type of silica-lignin for hexavalent chromium adsorption. The isolation from rice husk used an alkali extraction method. Confirmation of typical functional groups in the silica-lignin composite was characterized by FTIR, while the morphology was characterized by SEM, respectively. The results reveal that the silica-lignin isolation was successfully performed.  FTIR spectra indicate a typical wavenumber of the silica-lignin.  The SEM image of the composite showed homogeneous morphology. The silica-lignin adsorption process on hexavalent chromium followed a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) isotherm type indicated by multilayer adsorption with a surface area of 948.8421 mg. g-1.

Abstract

A combination of adsorption and photoelectrodegradation system was performed to reduce the concentration of Rhodamine B dye in water. The adsorption was conducted using silica and alumina activated by acid and base under various predetermined pH of Rhodamine B. The photoelectrodegradation process was performed using Ti/TiO2 electrode as a cathode and Ti/TiO2-NiO as an anode. TiO2 was synthesized from titanium tetra-isopropoxide precursor (TTiP) by sol-gel method. TiO2-NiO composite was synthesized with the same precursor with the addition of Ni(NO3)2.6H2O. The result shows that the activation changes the amount of OH total in the adsorbent. The acid-activated adsorbent showed an optimum adsorption activity when Rhodamine B was in base condition caused by zwitter ionic structure. It reversely occured to base-activated adsorbent where an optimum absorption activity reached at acid condition. The application of base-activated silica in adsorption and photoelectrodegradation combination system decreased the concentration of Rhodamine B dye up to 98.79% using photoanode Ti/TiO2-NiO under pH 2 at bias potential 6 V.

Abstract

Penelitian terkait pengaruh komposisi α-keratin/alginat terhadap kapasitas adsorpsi logam berat besi (Fe) telah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakter dan optimasi adsorpsi dari bioadsroben komposit α-keratin/alginat terhadap daya serap logam berat Fe dalam larutan air. Proses preparasi bioadsorben α-keratin/alginat dilakukan dengan metode enkapsulasi pada larutan CaCl2 2% (b/v). Karakterisasi bioadsorben dilakukan menggunakan Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) dan proses adsorbsi dilakukan dengan metode batch. Hasil karakterisasi IR pada komposit α-keratin/alginat menunjukkan terdapatnya serapan pada bilangan gelombang 1140-820,75 cm-1 yang merupakan reduksi gugus mannuronate dari alginat. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa alginat telah terikat secara kimia dengan α-keratin. Adsorpsi logam Fe (3 ppm) dalam larutan dilakukan dengan variasi komposisi α-keratin:alginat secara berturut-turut sebagai berikut 1:1; 1:2; 1:3; 2:1 dan 3:1 (b/b). Hasil pengukuran menggunakan Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) dengan metode kurva kalibrasi standar menunjukkan komposisi optimum penyerapan logam Fe (3 ppm) adalah 1:2 dengan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 205,64 mg/g. Hasil karakterisasi SEM pada komposit α-keratin:alginat komposisi 1:2 (b/b) yang memberikan kemampuan adsorpsi yang terbesar menunjukkan bahwa permukaan rambut manusia tidak tertutup secara menyeluruh sehingga gugus aktif dan celah-celah kecil pada komposit dapat berperan dalam proses adsorpsi logam berat besi (Fe).The Effect of α-Keratin/Alginate Bioadsorbent Composition on the Adsorption Capacity of Heavy Metal of Iron (Fe). A study of the influence of α-keratin-alginate composition on the heavy metal adsorption of Fe has been performed. The research aims to determinate the character and adsorption optimation of α-keratin/alginate composite for Fe adsorption in aqueous solution. The preparation α-keratin/alginate composite was conducted by encapsulation method in CaCl2 2% solution. The characterization of bioadsorbent was performed by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and adsorption process was conducted by batch method. The FTIR result on α-keratin/alginate shows that adsorption at wavenumber of 1140-820.75 cm-1 which indicates the reduction of mannuronate group from alginate. This suggests that alginate was chemically bound with α-keratin. The adsorption of Fe (3 ppm) in the solution was carried out with variation of composition α-keratin:alginate of 1:1; 1:2; 1:3; 2:1; and 3:1 (w/w). The measurement using AAS (atomic absorption spectroscopy) with standar calibration curve method showed that optimum composition of Fe (3 ppm) adsorption was 1:2 (w/w) with adsorption capacity of 205.64 mg/g.  The SEM result on α-keratin/alginate 1:2 (w/w) which had the greatest adsorption capability shows that the surface of human hair was not completely closed thus the active groups and pores can play a role in the process of adsorption of heavy metal iron (Fe).

Abstract

Kapang Monascus sp. secara tradisional telah digunakan dalam fermentasi beras merah (angkak) yang bermanfaat sebagai pewarna makanan, pengawet makanan maupun obat-obatan. Saat ini, beras angkak telah menjadi suplemen makanan yang terkenal karena banyaknya senyawa bioaktif yang terkandung seperti monakolin, pigmen, asam dimerumat dan lain-lain. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan metabolit sekunder kapang Monascus sp. yang meliputi senyawa monakolin dengan efek antikolesterol, pigmen dengan efek antikanker pada kanker payudara serta memprediksi toksisitas senyawa melalui studi in silico. Senyawa uji terdiri dari 14 senyawa monakolin dan 33 pigmen Monascus sp. Protein HMG KoA (3-hidroksi-3-metilglutaril koenzim A) reduktase digunakan sebagai reseptor antikolesterol sementara estrogen alfa, estrogen beta, dan aromatase digunakan sebagai reseptor antikanker. Perangkat lunak AutoDock digunakan untuk menganalisis kompleks struktural reseptor dengan senyawa uji. Prediksi toksisitas dilakukan menggunakan perangkat lunak ADMET predictor dan QSAR Toolbox. Prediksi toksisitas dan hasil docking menunjukkan bahwa asam monakolin L menunjukkan aktivitas antikolesterol yang baik terhadap HMG KoA reduktase; pigmen monaskin menunjukkan aktivitas antikanker yang selektif terhadap reseptor estrogen beta; dan keduanya diprediksi aman. Prediksi toksisitas senyawa monakolin dan pigmen Monascus sp. menunjukkan terdapat 7 senyawa monakolin yaitu 3-hidroksi-3,5-dihidromonakolin L, asam dihidromonakolin L, monakolin L, asam monakolin J, monakolin J, asam monakolin L , monakolin M, dan 5 pigmen Monascus sp. yaitu ankaflavin, monaskin, monaskopiridin A, monaskopiridin B dan monascuspiloin yang dinyatakan tidak toksik. Tujuh pigmen Monascus sp. yang terdiri dari monankarin A, monankarin B, monankarin C, monankarin D, monankarin E, monankarin F, dan monasfluol A bersifat positif mutagen, karsinogen dan toksik terhadap reproduksi. Hasil penelitian ini berpotensi dapat diaplikasikan untuk desain dan pengembangan obat antikolesterol dan antikanker.In Silico Study of Secondary Metabolites of Monascus sp. as A Candidate for Anticholesterol and Anticancer Drugs. The fungus Monascus sp. has traditionally been used to prepare red fermented rice (angkak) as a natural food colorant, food preservative or medicinal agent. Recently, it has become a popular dietary supplement due to many of its bioactive constituents such as monacolin compounds, pigments, and dimerumic acid, etc. These functional constituents also had been deemed to be provided with various health benefits. This research aims to find secondary metabolites of monacolin compounds with antihypercholesterolemic effect, Monascus sp. pigment with anticancer effect on breast cancer, and predict their toxicity through in silico study. The studied compounds consist of 14 monacolin compounds and 33 Monascus sp. pigments. HMG CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A) reductase protein was used as antihypercholesterolemic receptor in which estrogen alfa, estrogen beta, and aromatase were used as anticancer receptors. AutoDock docking software was used to analyze structural complexes of the receptors with studied compounds. Toxicity prediction was done using ADMET predictor and QSAR Toolbox softwares. Toxicity prediction and docking results revealed that monacolin L acid exhibits good anticholesterol activity towards HMG CoA reductase; monascin pigment exhibits selective anticancer activity towards estrogen beta receptor; and both of them were predicted to be safe. Toxicity prediction of studied compounds showed that 7 monacolin compounds which are 3-hydroxy-3,5-dihydromonakolin L, dihydromonacolin L acid, monacolin L, monacolin J acid, monacolin J, monacolin L acid, monacolin M and 5 Monascus sp. pigments which are ankaflavin, monascin, monascopyridine A, monascopyridine B dan monascuspiloin are not toxic. Seven Monascus sp. pigments which are monankarin A, monankarin B, monankarin C, monankarin D, monankarin E, monankarin F and monasfluol A are mutagenic, carcinogenic and also reprotoxic. The research results could be useful for the design and development of the anticholesterol and anticancer drugs.
